He lowered the rent costs in avenue q by being lazy and leaving rubbish everywhere. This is why he developed a reputation for being messy. This made it a popular area for out of work people and, essentially, ex-students. Knowing the approximate age of students leaving college he left coins with their likely year of birth lying on the street in order to provide inspiration. This provided him with Princeton, a likely candidate for going out with Kate, and who he guessed would give the dime to. Despite knowing that Rod was gay he didn't share the knowledge until the group was gathered, hoping to cause a crisis, driving Princeton to dump Kate. He also knew that this would get him kicked out of Rods apartment. Once on the street he convinced Princeton that helping others was more satisfying than helping yourself, meaning that he started collecting the money for the monster school. He therefore created the monster school. Kate, depressed dropped the dime on Lucy which, as he had planned, caused her to convert to Christianity. He also contacted Ricky, because he knew that his manipulation would eventually convince Rod to come out, and that he would focus his attention on someone similar to him. He also showed the ex-child star that he lived to be laughed at, and this fulfilled him. Nicky is all powerful, and we can only be thankful that he is also a force for good.

It really was a lucky penny

After Princeton finds the penny, things go well for him: he feels good about his future, he starts to make friends, he gets together with Kate. After he gives the penny away, things start to go wrong: he starts to worry about his future again, he breaks up with Kate, he isolates himself from his new friends, and ends up with Lucy. Then the penny nearly kills Lucy, with million-to-one odds that it would hit her after being dropped. I call that lucky, especially since it starts Princeton on the road back to Kate and happiness!

Christmas Eve is Trekkie Monster's therapist

In the song "It Sucks To Be Me" Christmas Eve sings about her job as a therapist, but she has no clients. Conclusively, in the song "School For Monsters" Trekkie sings about how he has a therapist because of his trouble in school. Rod recommended Christmas to Trekkie, and voila!
